From London With Love

Thanks to Hobbs for sponsoring this post!

The British womenswear brand Hobbs, which has been around since 1981, finally made its way across the pond last year in a standalone store in the Westchester New York mall, and just this past March opened their first US flagship store in Greenwich, Connecticut.

I was so delighted when Hobbs invited me to come visit the beautiful new Greenwich store, which is warm and bright; accented with large ornate mirrors, a faux fireplace and some very inviting couches by the shoe section (with the most adorable throw pillows!) And while I'm talking about the shoes, it's worth mentioning that Hobbs actually started out as a shoe brand before encompassing all womenswear, so they have their own shoe factory in Italy.

Hobbs pieces are rich with color and pattern, but also have bit of a timeless feel to them. While I shopped the store I noticed some fall pieces filtering in, but of course stuck to summer dresses that could transition, as you know I like to embrace summer until the very end!

Which isn't to say there aren't some very delicious fall preview pieces on their website right now - I'm looking at you, ruffle sleeve sweater!

Hobbs also does a special collection each year in collaboration with Historic Royal Palaces, it's almost like being able to wear a little bit of British royal history!

I should also mention that right now you can get 20% off everything at Hobbs, and if you can't make it to the Greenwich location, you can of course shop online!

I saw a sneak peek of the Hobbs store on your instagram and was immediately smitten - I'm a sucker for a well decorated boutique, what can I say? Although I'm not sure that the colourful clothes would be very me, I can never resist shoes made in Italy, no matter what shades they come in. And I do love this dress on you, particularly because you clearly already had everything you needed in your wardrobe to go with it - hello, adorable pink bag and white mules. I feel like that's how you know something is really "meant to be" yours, if there is any kind of fate associated with clothing - just being able to put it on and work it into an outfit the second you unpack it.xox,Cee
